While observing the mad scramble of nearly everyone to gather food, supplies, ammo and guns because of this COVID19 pandemic, I have been pondering what is fundamentally different between those that have been preparing for potential food (other forms of) insecurity, and those that live care-free and don't concern themselves with potential negative turn of events.
I believe the best answer is that even in good times, preppers:
1. never forget that circumstances may not always be as good, easy, convenient as they have been at times. 2. recognize the fragility of society, economy, and environment and the probability of unexpected changes as proven by history.
3. look to themselves to solve problems
In contrast, I suppose non-preppers believe thatsociety, economy, and environment
Seem about right?
What do you think are the fundamental differences between preppers and non-preppers?

In contrast, I suppose non-preppers believe thatsociety, economy, and environment
will always operate within acceptable ranges
, and if not, the government and business will act to address the issues (for example "climate change"). Seem about right?
